Today I’ve got an oatmeal cookie recipe to share with you! I love homemade cookies and so do the kiddos. It’s a nice surprise after a day at school. I like the idea of oatmeal cookies because oats are good for you. I used dark chocolate chips and walnuts to up the nutritional value. One third the batch got dried cranberries and white chocolate chips for a twist on the traditional oatmeal cookies. I’m not sure which I like better!
You can find the original recipe here. I made a few modifications. I doubled it, chilled mine in one bowl and then divided it up and put in my additions. I made my cookies smaller so they would go farther. A dozen cookies won’t last long in this house! I also omitted the cinnamon. My adapted recipe is below. I made 50 cookies with my recipe.
